EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Ricardo Moraes, the sun gracefully rises behind a pier on the serene Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro. The image, taken on July 31,2016, showcases the sheer beauty of nature as it unfolds before our eyes. The low angle view adds depth and perspective to the composition, allowing us to fully appreciate the grandeur of this scene. As the first rays of sunlight break through the horizon, they cast a mesmerizing reflection upon the calm waters below. The sky is adorned with fluffy clouds that seem to dance along with the gentle breeze. This picturesque moment holds even greater significance as part of Guanabara Bay will serve as a venue for Olympic windsurfing and sailing competitions. Despite its notorious pollution issues, this photograph reminds us of nature's resilience and ability to reclaim its splendor. With no people present in sight, we are left alone with our thoughts to admire this display of natural beauty. The waves gently lap against the pier's pillars while an air of tranquility envelops everything around. Moraes' creative use of light and composition transports us into a world where time stands still - where dawn breaks over Rio de Janeiro's iconic bay and reveals an awe-inspiring spectacle that leaves us breathless.
